Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"The princess is such a good person." A disaster victim sighed, holding a bowl of steaming porridge in his hand, his eyes full of gratitude.

Another disaster victim nearby echoed: "Yes, yes, if it weren't for the princess, all of us would have starved to death on the streets."

"The princess is truly kind-hearted," said another disaster victim, with a relieved smile on his face.

These words spread throughout the disaster area like a spring breeze, and people were praising the princess. These words were also passed on to the palace through the mouths of some officials, and finally reached the ears of the emperor. After hearing these words praising the princess, the emperor couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Your Majesty, it was clearly you who gave the orders. Why did the princess get all the benefits and fame?" an official said indignantly.

After hearing this, the emperor showed a trace of displeasure on his face, but he quickly regained his composure: "The eldest princess and I are both children of the royal family. It doesn't matter who we praise." There was a hint of majesty and unquestionableness in his voice.

The official was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He continued to argue: "But the princess..."

The emperor interrupted him and said, "Enough! Let's just leave this matter alone and don't mention it again." After that, the emperor turned and left the court, leaving the officials with helpless looks on their faces.

The officials looked at each other, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything more. They knew that the emperor's decision could not be changed.

However, this incident caused quite a stir in the palace. Some palace maids and eunuchs also discussed it privately, thinking that the eldest princess had stolen the emperor's limelight.

In the disaster area, the princess did not care about the praises. She still tried her best to help every disaster victim, interpreting kindness and compassion with her actions.

"Princess, this is made by my mother and given to you." A six-year-old girl held a delicate sachet in both hands, looked up, and looked at the noble and elegant woman in front of her, Hua Xiulan, with sparkling eyes. Her face was filled with innocence and expectation, as if the sachet in her hand was the most precious treasure in the world.

Hua Xiulan squatted down slightly, looking at the little girl at eye level, her eyes full of tenderness. She gently took the sachet and smiled: "Thank you, little cutie. Thank you mother for me too." After that, she put the sachet to her nose and sniffed it, praising: "It smells so good!"

The little girl smiled even more happily, revealing her two cute little canine teeth. She seemed a little shy, but couldn't help but ask curiously: "Princess, can this sachet make you happy every day?"

Hua Xiulan was amused by the little girl's innocence. She touched her head and said, "Of course, as long as I smell this fragrance, I will feel very happy."

The little girl's eyes sparkled with joy, and she seemed to feel that she had completed an important task. Then, she took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Hua Xiulan: "Princess, this candy is for you. I hope you like it."

Hua Xiulan took the candy and said with a smile, "Thank you, you are such a thoughtful child." She put the candy in her mouth and felt the sweet taste. Then, she gently patted the little girl on the shoulder and encouraged her, "You must study hard and become a promising person in the future."

The little girl nodded vigorously and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I will definitely work hard!" Then she saluted Hua Xiulan, turned around and ran away.

Hua Xiulan looked at the little girl's back as she walked away, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that although these children lived in poverty, their hearts were full of love and kindness. And she was willing to use her own strength to help more people in need and make the world a better place.

After Hua Xiulan turned and left, the emperor's confidant came forward and reported to the emperor Hua Xiulan's every move outside the palace. When the emperor heard that Hua Xiulan was so caring for a little girl, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"Hmph, she is very good at pleasing children," muttered the Emperor.

Seeing this, the confidant quickly agreed: "Your Majesty, calm down. Princess Zhaoyang is kind by nature and especially loves children."

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I want to see what other tricks she can use. Keep watching her and report to me immediately if there is anything unusual."

The confidant took the order and left, but the emperor's gaze remained outside the window.

Hua Xiulan returned to Jun Mansion in a happy mood. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Jun Moli walking in holding Jun Yao.

"Lan'er, are you tired?" Jun Moli looked at Hua Xiulan gently, his eyes full of concern.

"Not tired, I had a lot of fun today!" Hua Xiulan replied with a smile.

At this time, Jun Yao suddenly spoke: "Mom..." His voice was crisp and loud.

Hua Xiulan was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears and said in surprise, "Yao'er, you...you call me again."

"...Mother..." Jun Yao called again with an innocent smile on his face.

Hua Xiulan's eyes were wet with excitement, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly went forward to hug Jun Yao, choking with sobs and saying, "Hey, dear Yao'er. You can call me mother at seven months old."

Jun Moli was also moved by this heartwarming scene. He gently patted Hua Xiulan on the shoulder and comforted her: "Lan'er, don't cry. Yao'er is so smart because he has a good mother like you."

Hua Xiulan wiped away her tears, looked at Jun Moli with gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Moli. I don't know what I would do without you."

The family of three hugged each other tightly, enjoying this rare happiness and warmth.

The family of three here is loving and affectionate, but the family of three over there is not so lucky.

——Shen Mansion

"Mom, where is Dad?" One and a half year old Shen Jingchuan blinked his big eyes and asked Hu Wan in a baby voice.

Hu Wan gently touched Shen Jingchuan's head: "Be good, Jingchuan. Daddy has things to do, so he can't stay at home every day."

"I want daddy, I want daddy." Shen Jingchuan was a little persistent.

"Jingchuan, stop making trouble. As the eldest grandson of the Shen family, you should be obedient." Hu Wan coaxed him patiently.

Soon, she coaxed Shen Jingchuan to sleep and held him in her arms.

At this time, a maid came over and said to Hu Wan: "Auntie Hu, I heard that the Madam has chosen a young lady for the young master."

When Hu Wan heard this, she couldn't help but become distracted, and her thoughts drifted to a distant place.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the maid called out again, "Auntie, are you listening?"

Hu Wan came back to her senses, with an awkward smile on her face: "...Uh, what did you say?"

The maid repeated, "Madam has found a young lady for the young master."

Hu Wan's expression became a little complicated, but she quickly regained her composure and nodded gently: "Well, he should get married."
